ABCD

Correct Answer:

ABDE

Explanation:

Finance costs are the expenses towards interest charges incurred in the year on the borrowings of the company. Only the interest cost is to be shown under finance cost. Bank charges are shown under Other Expenses because these are incurred for arranging finance. Interest received is not a cost but an income, that's why it is not included in finance cost.
